About me
Welcome to my profile! I provide a warm, friendly, and confidential space where you can confidently explore and address any issues you may be facing.
To begin, I offer a complimentary 30-40 minute session. During this time, we will conduct an initial assessment to pinpoint the areas you want to work on. You'll also experience firsthand how comfortable and supportive a session with me can be, helping you feel at ease as we move forward together.
There are countless reasons why you might seek help. You may feel lost, confused, or overwhelmed by your circumstances, leading to anxiety, stress, or depression that can significantly impact your life. But rest assured, I’m here to help you navigate through these challenges.
I understand that mental health conditions can arise from various factors, and sometimes they can feel sudden or unexpected. Whether you know the source of your struggles or not, together we will uncover the path forward, illuminating what may currently seem like an endless journey.
Don’t suffer in silence. If you’re ready to take the next step, that’s a fantastic sign! I’ve successfully guided many individuals through what they thought was impossible.
In our sessions, you’ll find a confidential and safe environment where you can speak freely and honestly without fear of judgment. I’m approachable, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to, making me a perfect fit for those who may feel shy or uncertain about counseling.
Whatever you’re going through, I am here to support you. If you believe this could be the right fit for you, don’t hesitate to reach out—send me a message or give me a call. Let’s take that important step together!

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
